Chinese President Xi Jinping has directed China’s security apparatus to strengthen risk prevention and improve its ability to maintain social order.

Recent reporting says the directive places greater emphasis on technological tools and preventing risks ahead of the next Communist Party Congress.

Technology and public security

The directive highlights the growing role of technology in China’s approach to governance and public security. Authorities have increasingly emphasized digital systems and technological tools for managing risks.

Domestic policy focus

The instruction comes shortly after Xi’s summit with US President Donald Trump, as China’s leadership turns attention back toward domestic priorities.
